Re: [Ilugc] An FTP user with two passwords
Hi You've already got quite a few responses with suggestions, so, I am going to repeat that. However, I just wanted to point something out ...

( Developers have the full privilege but the customers shouldn't have the full privilege) Think a bit about what you described and you'll see what you are describing is one user (the customer) and a group of other users (the developers). So, an alternate way to go approach this would be to make a one to one mapping between actual users (customers as well as individual developers) and implementing access control based on groups. cheers, - steve On Mon, Apr 19, 2010 at 10:09 AM, sivakumar wrote: > I am using Ubuntu Server 9.10 as a my FTP server.

Re: Subject: Re: [Ilugc] An FTP user with two passwords
Hai Prem, I think that its a good idea. If two passwords with single user breaks the security criteria. Then i would like to follow your method ( Which u posted here).

At worst you can modify the src of some open source ftp server to achieve that! But the idea behind a 'username' is to give an identity to some entity that's performing some actions on the system. And the password is just to ensure the entity is the authorized owner of the 'identiy'. In your case you want to restrict actions based on identity. So, its clearly a case of two usernames! regds, mano ___ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc

Jithin k wrote: >Hai Abgishek k, >I just want to know that, will it possible. >Regards >Jithin k As far as I know, it is not possible in any FTP server software I have looked at. The user name is mapped to a single password. What you can do is to have multiple users with different access rights to the same folder. You could give your clients one username with the lower access rights and give your developers separate usernames with greater levels of access to those directories.

I strongly second the solutions that others have suggested i.e. have separate logins for your developers and customers. Besides the above you can attain additional ACL via group ids, sticky bits, and your file system's extended ACLs. Please read them up, do some testing on your desktop before embarking on any implementation on production systems. -- Arun Khan ___ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc

Re: [Ilugc] An FTP user with two passwords
Why not have just two usernames instead with full-rights and partial rights? I think it is a better solution and more secure than what you are trying to achieve.

[Ilugc] An FTP user with two passwords
Hai all, I am using Ubuntu Server 9.10 as a my FTP server. I would like to create a FTP user account with two passwords ( Rather than sharing the passwords). And to set privileges to the user who is logged in based on the passwords. Your suggestions are welcomed. Regards Jithin K ___ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
